Renaissance Terrace has been part of Knoxville’s senior care landscape for 55 years now, a long run by any standard in this field. The 50-bed nursing home sits on Bearden Pl in a genuinely walkable stretch of the city. A Walk Score of 74 means most errands, a pharmacy trip, a coffee, whatever, don’t require a car at all.
Beyond nursing home care, Renaissance Terrace also covers assisted living, independent living, and memory care, so the building serves a fairly wide range of needs under one roof. It’s a mid-rise with private rooms, which matters if privacy is high on your list. The resident mix here leans toward both ends of the care spectrum: short-term rehab stays after a hospital visit, and long-term residents settling in for the long haul. The average length of stay runs 462 days, well past a year, which tells you long-term care is doing a lot of the work here.
On staffing, nurse aides provide the bulk of hands-on care, clocking in at 2 hours and 7 minutes per resident each day. Add in RN and LPN time, and total nursing care lands around 2 hours and 49 minutes per resident per day. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, which opens up more than one path for families figuring out how to pay for this.
Pets are welcome here, and residents have access to transportation services and a fitness and recreation program, both useful in a location that’s otherwise easy to get around on foot anyway. Senior Citizens Home Assistance Service runs the building, with Katelyn Bray as administrator and Tim Howell as CEO. Taken together, the decades of operation, the long average stay, and the four-care-type range point to a facility built for residents who need somewhere stable to land, not just pass through.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
This home is ranked 183rd out of 190 homes in Tennessee for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
|
32m per day | ▼ 13% State avg: 37m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
|
28m per day | ▼ 58% State avg: 1h 5m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
|
2h 7m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 2h 9m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
|
2h 52m per day | ▼ 15% State avg: 3h 21m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
|
2m per day | ▼ 64% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
|
22m per day | ▼ 9% State avg: 24m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
Average number of days residents stay at this facility, based on CMS cost report data. Shorter stays often reflect post-acute or rehab care; longer stays reflect long-term care.
Renaissance Terrace is legally operated by Senior Citizens Home Assistance Service,, and administered by Katelyn Bray.

Net patient revenue — what the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts are subtracted from its gross charges (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."

Money the home earns outside of resident care — such as investments, grants, rentals and other non-operating sources (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It is tracked separately from net patient revenue: it is not part of that figure, and it is not included in net patient income.
Staff salaries plus wage-related costs — benefits such as payroll taxes, health insurance and retirement — from the home's own accounting records (CMS cost report, Worksheet A). Contract or agency labor is counted separately, under other operating costs.
